    Meditations-Gen.2.6 'the whole face'

    But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.'

    In the first chapter the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the water and it is a continuous act. In the divine Will the Spirit of God like the wind is never still. It blows where it listeth, 'and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh'. Jesus referred to the new creation. Let us look at the sequence. The will of God when set moving has consequences. "The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled."(Ps.76.16) The Psalm refers to the parting of the sea and it is the result of the divine word of God. Moses only had to obey, "But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it." The word was already spoken before the earth was formed. (Exod.14.16) Before Joshua in likewise the river Jordan shall part. Here we have continuationism, So shall be in the end times, "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it." The Will of God working with face of the waters shall not be left high and dry but prosper in the thing, "but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." (Isa.55.11;Rev.20.13) The Son shall round it off for the glory of the Father. It is thus we look at the mist working in obedience to the divine Will. No half measures with the Son. So the whole heart of man has a face. The Spirit gives what the face signifies spiritually:'to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." Before the Spirit set to work the earth was void and without form. Now the earth bears the fulness of God in the face. This is what worlds framed by the word of God would mean. (Heb.11.3)

    Adam eating of the fruit, was a single act of self-will. The act was under Cessationism. But continationism took over. Fath without works makes these labels the work of reprobate minds.
